In this empowering episode, we dive deep into menstrual cycle awareness as a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and personal revolution. I share what menstrual cycle awareness is, why it matters, and how it can completely transform your relationship with your body and your life.

I walk you through the four phases of your menstrual cycle—menstruating, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal—explaining how each phase impacts your energy, emotions, creativity, and productivity. Through real-life examples and my own journey of reclaiming my cycle, you'll learn how to sync your life with your cycle, rather than fighting against it.

In this episode, you'll discover:

🌹 What menstrual cycle awareness is and why it's essential for your well-being

🌹 How to identify and understand the four phases of your cycle and their impact on your physical, emotional, and mental states

🌹Why honoring your cycle is a radical act of self-care and empowerment

🌹 How menstrual cycle awareness can help you reduce stress, increase energy, and build a deeper connection with yourself

🌹 My personal story of integrating menstrual cycle awareness into my life and the profound impact it has had on my healing journey

If you're tired of pushing through exhaustion, feeling disconnected from your body, or constantly battling with the ups and downs of your cycle, this episode is for you. You’ll learn how understanding your cycle can help you stop fighting against your body and start embracing its natural rhythm. Whether you're looking to reduce PMS, reconnect with your creativity, or get off the cycle of burnout, menstrual cycle awareness offers a compassionate path to balance, energy, and clarity.

Are you feeling like everything is just too much right now?

Maybe your energy dropped overnight, your to-do list feels impossible, and even the clutter in your house is making you want to scream. You’re not lazy or falling apart — you’re syncing with the waning moon and the pre-menstrual phase of your cycle.

This week on Cycle Sync, we’re exploring the shift from the full moon into the waning phase — a time that often brings a wave of fatigue, sensitivity, and emotional overwhelm. If you're noticing:
– A sudden spike in anxiety or depression
– Feeling overstimulated, irritable, or weepy for "no reason"
– A strong urge to pull away from social demands and retreat inward

...you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. You’re just entering a deeply feminine, restorative phase that our fast-paced world rarely honors.

We’ll talk about why this phase matters, how it connects with the autumn season of your menstrual cycle, and why continuing to push yourself right now could be feeding your burnout.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

🥀 What the waning moon and premenstrual phase are trying to teach you

🥀 How to recognize signs your body is calling for rest, processing, and slowing down

🥀 Why honoring this cycle can actually reduce anxiety, boost clarity, and increase resilience

This conversation is for the woman who’s tired of pushing through and is ready to move in harmony with her body’s natural rhythms, not against them.

Want support for this tender phase? I’ve got a collection of somatic meditations designed for the waning moon and premenstrual time — perfect for slowing down and tuning in.

Have you ever felt like your emotional or physical symptoms around your period were trying to tell you something deeper?

In this potent episode, I share the powerful connection between trauma and the menstrual cycle — a topic that transformed my own healing journey and has profoundly shifted the way I support my clients. Whether you’ve experienced anxiety, PMS, PMDD, painful periods, or just feel like your emotions spiral out of control in certain phases of your cycle… this conversation is for you.

We’ll explore:

❤️‍🩹 How early trauma and patriarchal conditioning impact the nervous system and hormone regulation

❤️‍🩹Why you may feel more emotionally raw or dysregulated during specific phases of your cycle

❤️‍🩹 How understanding the female body through a trauma-informed lens can unlock new levels of self-compassion and healing

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this about my body?” — this episode is the validation, education, and liberation you’ve been waiting for.

💡 Stay until the end for the supportive somatic and creative practices I use during the luteal phase to move through rage, grief, and old wounds — and find your way back to clarity and power.

This isn’t just about periods — it’s about reclaiming your relationship with your body and finding tools that truly work for your unique healing path.

This week, we're diving into the energy of the first quarter moon, a time of forward momentum and aligned action. If you’ve been resting, dreaming, and tuning into your body’s rhythms, beautiful. AND healing also requires movement.

In this episode, I share how to balance your inner feminine and masculine energies, using the Maiden archetype as our guide. The Maiden is curious, brave, and full of hope — she doesn’t just dream, she takes action. As the moon grows and spring deepens, this is your sacred invitation to take the next small step toward what you desire.

If you’re feeling stuck or frustrated with slow progress, this episode will help you understand:

⚡️Why action is essential for trauma recovery and nervous system healing

⚡️How to use the waxing moon and follicular phase as a natural momentum booster

⚡️What it really means to embody the feminine path without abandoning structure or fire

Remember: it’s not about “doing it all,” it’s about doing the thing that moves you forward — with support, intention, and inner alignment.

✨Take a risk. Follow your curiosity. Reach out. This is the season to grow.
